Avenue France Gwanggyo burger restaurant with three sides: Base Burger

Lunch at Base Burger Gwanggyo Avenue France Branch

I was craving a burger and happened to be nearby, so I stopped by Base Burger Gwanggyo Avenue France Branch. The store sits on the Avenue France Gwanggyo side, so it was easy to swing by when looking for somewhere to eat lunch in Gwanggyo — good for whenever you just want a burger without much fuss. If you're searching for Gwanggyo restaurants or Gwanggyo Avenue France restaurants, this one's worth a look.

Seating and how to order at Base Burger

The interior at Base Burger Gwanggyo Avenue France Branch isn't huge, but there were more seats than I expected.

You can order either through the kiosk or by telling a staff member directly. I liked using the kiosk since I could take my time browsing the menu and pick exactly what I wanted.

Menu lineup and what the sets cost

The menu was more varied than I expected — from the basic burger to cheeseburgers, bacon cheeseburgers and more, plus a good range of side dishes. The burger set prices weren't too heavy on the wallet either, so it's a nice option when you're after a casual Gwanggyo lunch spot. Since I wanted to try a bunch of things this time, I ordered a mix of burger and sides.

The sauce selection at Base Burger

One thing I personally loved was the variety of sauces! Not just for the burger, but you could pick sauces to match your taste with the sides too. Same menu item, but the flavor shifts depending on the sauce, so it was fun trying different combinations.

Free potato chips for table-dining customers

Customers eating at a table also get potato chips by default. Good for nibbling while waiting on your order — and they're not plain, they're actually seasoned, so they were tastier than I expected. I kept reaching for more and ended up eating quite a bit before the burger even arrived.

They kept refilling the chips whenever they ran low, so I could snack freely, and the seasoning meant they were tasty on their own. This little touch of service kept things from feeling dull before the meal.

The four items ordered on this visit

Since I wanted to try a bit of everything this time, I ordered the chili mozzarella cheese bar, Base Burger, cheese bacon fries, and buffalo chicken wings.

• Chili mozzarella cheese bar
• Base Burger
• Cheese bacon fries
• Buffalo chicken wings

Instead of just getting one burger, ordering sides alongside it meant I could taste a little of several menu items — much better. If it's your first visit, I'd especially recommend picking one burger and one side to try together.

How does the Base Burger taste?

I started with the Base Burger, the one I was most looking forward to. It's built with a beef patty, real cheddar cheese, house sauce, butterhead lettuce, onion, and tomato — everything felt fresh overall, so it was delicious. The patty and cheese paired well together, and the vegetables kept it from feeling too heavy.

Cutting into the burger, the filling was quite generous. Sometimes when the vegetables are too thick, the ingredients taste separate from each other, but with the Base Burger the patty, sauce, and vegetables came together nicely, so the overall balance felt good.

Chili mozzarella cheese bar, buffalo wings and fries

This is the chili mozzarella cheese bar — crispy on the outside, with mozzarella cheese packed inside, so when you cut into it, the cheese is really full. The nutty flavor of the cheese combined with a chili kick made it slightly salty and spicy, and it was delicious.

I also tried the chicken wings and fries, and personally I liked the texture. Overall, the menu is varied and the burger set prices aren't too much of a burden, so it's a good pick for a casual lunch. If you're craving a burger near Gwanggyo or looking for a Gwanggyo Avenue France restaurant, I'd recommend giving Base Burger a try.
